"OVERSEAS BLUES": EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVES ON AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSIC

To be held at the University of Gloucestershire,
Oxstalls Campus, Gloucester
23rd-26th July 2004

The conference will focus on the spread and influence of Black music,
particularly but not exclusively the Blues, from the Americas to Europe.
It will also consider the response of the European audience. Speakers
include Paul Oliver, Guido van Rijn, Rainer Lotz, Bob Groom, Robert
Tilling and Jen Wilson and they will consider the significance of Europe
as a base or location for black performers and recording artists, the
influence of black music on European popular music and culture.

Live music by KingB and Errol Lynton's Blues Vibe.
